ME-LVCI v1.10
Low Voltage Screen Control Interface Module
A low voltage interface for use between Extron® MediaLink series
control panels and electric drop down screens to control the
Up, Down & Stop commands.
Works with the following Extron panels:
• MediaLink MLC 226 IP (page 1-1 – 1-4)
• MediaLink MLC 206 (page 2-1 – 2-6)
• MediaLink MLC 104 IP Plus* (page 3-1 – 3-5)
(*Extron IPV T RLY4 #60-545-03 also required)

Electrical Components Inside a ME-LVCI
All components inside the ME-LVCI are factory set with no user adjustability.
DO NOT open the unit for any reason. Breaking seal will void warranty.
All electrical components are rated for under 50v DC. This does not mean that any form of high voltage can be
applied to the unit. Only run low voltage from a low voltage control system box.
If you are not sure if the low voltage control system box on your screen will interface with the ME-LVCI
contact us at [email protected] or at www.mesa-engineering.net
!!! WARNING !!!
Only connect the ME-LVCI to a screen equipped with a low voltage control box.
NEVER connect to a screen with out a low voltage control box.
DO NOT connect to 110v/220v AC directly. FOR LOW VOLTAGE USE ONLY!

Wiring Configuration Between Screen and Extron® MLC 226 IP Series
ME-LVCI to Screen Control Box (ie: DA-Lite Single Motor Low Voltage Control System)
1. Connect the RED wire to pin 3 of the Screen Control box (Labeled as UP on some controls).
2. Connect the BLACK wire to pin 2 of the Screen Control box (Labeled as DOWN on some controls).
3. Connect the WHITE (and/or bare shield) wire to pin 1 of the Screen Control box (Common).
ME-LVCI to Extron® MLC 226 Panel.
1. Connect the RED wire to 1 of Relay A.
2. Connect the BLACK wire to 3 of Relay B.
3. Connect the GREEN wire to 2 of Relay A.
4. Connect the WHITE wire to COMMON of Relay A.
5. Jumper COMMON of Relay A to COMMON of Relay B.
(All grounds/shields outputs on ME-LVCI on the “to extron” side are internally connected to WHITE,
can also be used to connect to COMMON instead of jumper)

Configuration of Extron® Control Buttons
Button Arrangement (Configuration 1)
Buttons can be arranged in any order. The best and most practical locations are shown in the following
figure. With UP as the top button, DOWN as the bottom button and STOP as the center button.
Go to page 1-3 for software configuration.
Button Arrangement (Configuration 2)
The Up & Down buttons can also be controlled by the “Display” ON/OFF buttons. When you turn the
projector on the screen will drop down. When you turn the projector off the screen will rise. All to create a
“Professional” look.
Go to page 1-4 for software configuration.
NOTE To control with the above configuration, swap the BLACK (Down) wire with the GREEN (stop) wire. Do not connect
COMMON to the common of relay B. With this configuration only relay A 1, 2, & Common should be connected. This
frees up the remaining relays for other controls.
